A quick and flavorful shrimp stir-fry with a touch of garlic and ginger, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Combine the soy sauce, dry sherry, and grated ginger in a bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Marinating the shrimp enhances its flavor. Use fresh ginger for a more aromatic result.
Heat the peanut oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the garlic to release its aroma.
Add the marinated shrimp to the wok and stir-fry until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender and juicy.
Add the green onions, salt, and sesame oil. Toss briefly until the onions are slightly wilted.
Adding sesame oil at the end preserves its nutty flavor.
Serve the stir-fry hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
